How to Increase the Effectiveness of the Master Cleanse?

By Linda Riley

Master Cleanse diet is very low in cost as most of its ingredients are cheap and easy to obtain. Some of the main ingredients that you need are pure water, grade B Organic maple syrup, organic Cayenne pepper, organic lemons and sea salts. To further increase the effectiveness of the master cleanse, you can use side ingredients like herbal laxative tea, psyllium husk, wheat grass, natural decaffeinated herbal tea and hoodia extract.

The most neglected ingredient in the master cleanse diet is in fact the pure filtered water. Many people did not realise the importance and power of the pure filtered water. You must not use any kind of water in this master cleanse diet as other water contains chlorine and bacteria. And chlorine is a poison and if you drink chlorine water, you are adding in more poison to your body. Thus, it defeats the purpose of undergoing the master cleanse diet in the first place.

Some important points to note for the ingredients used. Firstly, the lemon juice that you used must be freshly squeezed. Avoid using the processed one in the supermarket as they contain way too much sugar. The same rule applies for the maple syrup. As for the case of cayenne pepper, the powered form and the liquid form both works excellent. Finally, for the salt used, it must be sea salt and it acts as a laxative.

As mentioned earlier, you can use secondary ingredients to make your master cleanse more effective. You can use laxative tea as a substitute to replace sea salt if you are not partial to taking sea salts. Even though sea salts is actually more effective as a laxative, the laxative tea will do equally well the job. The two recommended brand of tea to use in the master cleanse diet are "Laxative Tea" and "Smooth Move tea". The function of the psyllium husk is also a laxative. It is also fiber rich and will help you curb your hunger pangs. The wheat grass used as a secondary ingredient in the master cleanse diet is a strong antioxidant as it is filled with nutrients and vitamins. It is nicknamed super food because it provides more nutrients per weight ratio as compared to other forms of food. However the main reason for the wheat grass, in the master cleanse diet , is because it contain protein.

Main usage of the herbal tea is to break the boredom of drinking the lemonade cocktail. There is very few things you can add to the master cleanse diet and hence herbal tea is used. For the case of hoodia, it is used to curb your hunger pangs. This is to prevent yourself from straying away from the master cleanse regime. Therefore it is good to take the hoodia together with the master cleanse for the successful completion of the cleansing program. - 16083
